George Eliot
What if my words Were meant for deeds.
George Eliot
A man never lies with more delicious languor under the influence of a passion than when he has persuaded himself that he shall subdue it to-morrow.
George Eliot
The beginning of an acquaintance whether with persons or things is to get a definite outline of our ignorance.
George Eliot
Among all forms of mistake, prophecy is the most gratuitous.
George Eliot
Mysterious haunts of echoes old and far, The voice divine of human loyalty.
George Eliot
Men and women make sad mistakes about their own symptoms, taking their vague uneasy longings, sometimes for genius, sometimes for religion, and oftener still for a mighty love.

George Eliot
I had some ambition. I meant everything to be different with me. I thought I had more strength and mastery. But the most terrible obstacles are such as nobody can see except oneself.
George Eliot

George Eliot
The tendency toward good in human nature has a force which no creed can utterly counteract, and which insures the ultimate triumph of that tendency over all dogmatic perversions.
George Eliot
I care only to know, if possible, the lasting meaning that lies in all religious doctrine from the beginning till now.
George Eliot
What believer sees a disturbing omission or infelicity? The text, whether of prophet or of poet, expands for whatever we can put into it, and even his bad grammar is sublime.
George Eliot
Her heart went out to him with a stronger movement than ever, at the thought that people would blame him. Maggie hated blame she had been blamed her whole life, and nothing had come of it but evil tempers.
George Eliot
It is a common sentence that knowledge is power but who hath duly considered or set forth the power of ignorance? Knowledge slowly builds up what ignorance in an hour pulls down.
George Eliot
